I see your using the old skool interpretation of "nos" still. Where you expect it to be new, unused, but possibly in a shabby box or missing it packaging altogether.......errr......no......
NOS....." An item i feel is worth a lot, which i want to get more for regardless of condition or years of use"
I bought some nos xc pro shifters......from the photos.....used, oh and touched up, oh and damaged through use......nos though.!
Im fine with it, went cheap as im assuming everybody just went "wtaf he on about" and didn't bid to much.
